Our Mission
T
he mission of the Guilford Battleground Company is to provide support to the unique partnership of Guilford Courthouse National Military Park, a Revolutionary War battle site, and Tannenbaum Historic Park, an eighteenth century farmstead and colonial heritage center. This will be accomplished through financial assistance, preservation and interpretation of these significant historic sites.
Our Vision
T
he Guilford Battleground Company has an enormous vision of not only securing and protecting the remaining battlefield, but to broaden the awareness of our national heritage and encourage surrounding communities to support and embrace what these parks have to offer. The GBC has strong leadership with its Board of Directors and support from the community. One of our greatest challenges will always be to find adequate funding but that burden will be light as long as we continue to have caring citizens with a sense of patriotism and pride in the sacrifices of our forefathers.
We Need Your Support
T
he Guilford Battleground Company needs the support and interest of all, young and old, to carry on a legacy and pass along sacred ground and part of our national heritage for generations to come. Surely the original founders of the Guilford Battleground Company must have wondered who would carry on the mission of the GBC when they took the first steps in preserving the battlefield back in 1887. We invite you to join us in continuing their legacy and in making as well as preserving history. Whether you join us as a member or support one of our many fundraising efforts, your involvement will make all of the difference in what the Guilford Battleground Company continues to accomplish today and in the future.
